Launched in 1970, originally the Range Rover was a two-door vehicle, it was only developed as a four-door vehicle as it evolved.

Not many car makers can lay claim to producing two vehicles that truly changed the automotive landscape but Land Rover is one such firm.

The original Land Rover was the vehicle which got the whole off-road ball rolling in 1948 and went on to become arguably the most recognisable vehicle the world over.

The original Range Rover was an attempt to create a more comfortable four-wheel drive vehicle that could be as capable on-road as off it.

It has been hailed as the first SUV, establishing a trend that is still in its ascendency today, with demand for SUVs and crossovers growing as each year passes.

Land Rover has released a teaser image of the new Range Rover SV Coupé, which will be unveiled to the world fully at the Geneva International Motor Show on March 6.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover’s chief design officer, who comes from Coventry, said: “The Range Rover SV Coupé is a highly compelling design with peerless refinement and uncompromised sophistication from its breathtaking exterior proportions to its sumptuous, beautifully appointed, interior. This is a vehicle that will resonate on an emotional level.”
